Movement re-entry
Move
One movement, sized to what this body can actually do today. Not a fitness app. A calmer way back into movement.
Move finds one small movement for where you are right now - your available time, your current capacity, and any physical constraints the category usually ignores. When a movement doesn't happen, six friction types name why and the next suggestion adapts. No streak. No fitness score. One honest move at a time.
Most people who need to move more already know it. The barrier is not knowledge or motivation. It is the cost of the first movement - a first rung that assumes fitness, effort, and a body free of constraint. Move tries to find a lower rung.
Move uses a movement system designed for bodies the fitness category was never built for. It reads your available time, your current friction, and your physical constraints, then generates one movement calibrated to what is actually available - from a 1-minute stretch to a short walk. As movements accumulate, the engine quietly watches for the right moment to stop under-asking. No announcement. No badge. Just a better next suggestion.
It does not become a fitness tracker, a calorie counter, or a streak engine. It does not assume the user is able-bodied, time-rich, or starting from fitness. It finds one movement that fits this body on this day.
The design starts from a reread of the exercise literature. Accumulation matters more than intensity. Brief movement breaks carry independent cardiovascular and metabolic benefit. The biggest predictor of long-term movement is whether the entry point was low enough to actually happen. Most fitness tools set the first rung too high.
The research on sedentary behaviour reduction, light activity bouts, and breaking sitting patterns all points in the same direction: movement does not need to be long or structured to be meaningful. The body responds to accumulation over time - not to performance. So Move stays small, stays honest about what this body can do today, and trusts that regularity built on a lower rung is worth more than ambition that doesn't stick.

Dignity and Depth
Dignity is the product. Not a limited version — the full behavioural core, already working. Depth is the same product with a longer memory: it learns how this specific person re-enters, drifts, and returns, and uses that to make the next step more exactly right.
The full engine from day one. Constraint-aware suggestions. Friction adaptation. Quiet momentum tracking. One-time calibration at the start - the only onboarding in the studio. Device-local. No account required. Already complete.
Depth gives the engine a longer memory. The full pattern view opens - momentum trends, dominant friction, and science observations tied to your actual movement history. Over time the engine stops under-asking when the evidence shows the current level is consistently achievable. The suggestions become more exactly fitted to this body.
Move offers general movement suggestions, not medical advice. It is not a substitute for physiotherapy, rehabilitation, or clinical support.
Move suggests one small movement at a time, sized to your stated availability and constraints. It is not physiotherapy, rehabilitation advice, or a medical programme. It does not assess your physical condition, diagnose injury, or replace qualified clinical support. Always move within your own limits. If you are unsure, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Physical activity resources and accessible movement organisations are available if useful.
